It took a bit for me to realize that "toilet water" at THIS stage was still clean and pure!<br /><br />The washer was probably in the bathroom! LOL! I should talk...mine is on the balcony outside - but I love it there!<br /><br />That house looks too too wonderful! I think it is cool that you found it after God gave you peace and you started finding the humor in your situation! The insulation and floor heating will be SOOOOO wonderful in the winter! And windows seem bigger often from the inside than they look from the outside. Though - if you are looking at your neighbor's wall...

Love the 1/2 bath... very clever.<br /><br />As far as having the bathroom scattered, I lived a year in Australia and it was very common to have the toilet in one room and the bath/shower and sink in another. Efficient, I guess.<br /><br />Like the sink on top of the toilet.<br /><br />Gee... what a <i>coincidence</i> that right when you find your "dream house" (sort of...) you may have a buyer for your Texas house.<br /><br />JulieHerding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-25362333773838812082009-08-19T15:14:42.032-08:002009-08-19T15:14:42.032-08:00Sis:

Regs are regulations....what all good FGO must live by. ::snort:: <br /><br />Linda, YES - he told me they are not FGO and so maybe they'll find a 4 bdr adequate for those 6 children. LOL Although, I guess they were told before they go here that they may want to look off base.....AND all 3 families in TLF as of now in our boat are FGO.DeEtta @ Courageous Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726346272268287588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-15865889803200848132009-08-19T09:17:31.111-08:002009-08-19T09:17:31.111-08:00yea!

Good perspective.<br /><br />Love the vending machines!<br /><br />And the toilet/sink....<br />Have I ever told you the story/joke about our visit to Sapporo? We were visiting some missionary friends of ours. They're Baptist; we grew up Presbyterian. So when they were talking about their church plant and new believers, they of course said the baptisms would be in the tub. We joked about a Presbyterian church plant could do the baptisms using the small sink over the toilets! Just a little denominational humor...<br /><br />Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-36895713195325509712009-08-19T07:45:20.784-08:002009-08-19T07:45:20.784-08:00Sis:

Becau...Is the family with 6 children a lesser rank? Because it's been my experience that housing is VERY specific about keeping houses for the "proper" rank, even when there are needs. At Ft. Riley, they had many open 3-4 bedrooms, but they were for field grade officers...and we'd been on the waiting list for over a year. But they wouldn't give us those houses because we weren't field grade...though, in the eyes of the Army, a Warrant Officer 3 IS field grade...but for housing purposes, they are NOT field grade...<br /><br />God's leading you where you need to be. My life group is praying for your housing situation...whatever you need!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956372504248127591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-91272950547636877352009-08-19T07:06:22.842-08:002009-08-19T07:06:22.842-08:00Sis:

Bet you wish HE would get finished with the doing and let it be done. :) Will be fun to look back on later, much later.<br /><br />Like I said, a book in the making. As least you are meeting folks who are coming and going. Might be good contacts later on?<br /><br />Jared does well in school and so he will catch up I bet.<br /><br />Interesting the sink behind the toliet. WHATEVER!!! Guess that does away with under the sink storage. :):) One mess not to have to straighten out every so often. :):)<br /><br />praying, love --- Dad/MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-67212520769283588982009-08-19T06:12:10.722-08:002009-08-19T06:12:10.722-08:00De'Etta, the house looks very nice.
